Dutty Tuff Riddim – Togetherness Records

Dutty Tuff Riddim came out in 1998 on Togetherness Records, a four-track dancehall set that keeps the focus tight with cuts from Bobby Crystal, Jah Selah, Killish and Ras Charmer. Bobby Crystal’s My Love Your Love and Jah Selah’s Unite are the best-known pulls here, while Killish’s I Wish Pt2 and Ras Charmer’s Stars round out a short but memorable lineup. The riddim sits in that rare late-’90s ragga pocket, with a lean tracklist and a roots-leaning edge that helps it feel a little different from the heavier gunman fare of the era.
